Actually I have issues playing any other classes. The only easy way to play is to make a healer. Let the NPC joining members do the tanking and range, and my avatar healing them.
My first character who completed the main story was a Dalish Rogue, for single target DPS it went quite easy. So long as you pick up the companion Wynn (or whatever her name is), her healing makes playing a DPS/Tank class easier. I'm currently going through as a mage hybrid of Blood Mage/Spirit Healer and its a breeze. More button pressing than the rogue though.
Whereas I think BG was based on its own lore, Dragon's Age makes use of an already preconcieved world from a series of novels (I think). It feels very cliche as an entire premise, and you'll swear at points that you're playing a LOTR game.
Except, unlike LOTR games, it doesn't suck.
With that said, the way the characters play off each other in dialogue is great, and how bringing different characters to different events unlocks different pathways. I didn't even realise this until doing my second playthrough with a different group comp
I never really got into Baldur's Gate (hides), but I went on a +10 hour Dragon Age binge so make of that what you want. My only real complaint is how you can't exit maps without using a gate (for the most part). So long as you've killed every hostile, i don't see why we shouldn't be able to. Also... Helmets look ghastly. My fashion sense tingles. I wish they had included more bars, though you only really need more bars as a mage.

borderlands: finished lilith all the way on my 2nd playthrough. the game reminds me of diablo, enjoyment of the loot is very gratifying. also playing on a huge ass plasma tv with ciggies is da bomb
fallout 3: 2nd game i ever played on the xbox after GTA4, think i spent more than 2 weeks to get all the achivements. pretty much played it till wee hours in the morning. by far one of the best game ive ever played. also i think in fallout 3 stealth is too OP.
dragon age O: gonna start soon after i finished my mass effect playthrough as paragon since in ME2 you can load your save game from ME1 and continue the storyline. renegade is too much fun and man those tight bodysuits on ash and liara....
Can't wait for Mass Effect 2. I still have my save games from 1, both Paragon and Renegade! Really love Bioware storytelling, need to try out Jade Empire when I can find a copy.
I didn't peg you for a Lilith type Imzy, not macho enough for you.
Fallout 3 was really good as well, the Point Lookout expansion had one of my favourite characters in a game as well. Wish they had made better use of Liam Neeson's voice acting, the father didn't get enough air time!
What's not macho about Lilith? My Lilith is usually running into the thick of the enemy, dodging enemy bullets and blasting a path through with SMGs in order to reach and revive Shiro's Brick, who is most often seen crumpled over and bleeding into the dirt.
REVIVED YOU TWICE DUE TO THE EXACT SAME TYPE OF MOB EH EH
